In a system that puts so much stallion credibility to races won by 2 and 3yr. olds,its no wonder the good early horses all break down.
Don't expect any T.C. change until the breeders cup starts getting more recognition from the 18-35 yr.olds that know less about a triple crown with each passing year.
The winner of 2yr.old breeder cup is never even sound enough(forget about good enough)to participate in the spring lead-up races much less the T.C.
Ten years from now (hopefully)the breeders Cup will be recognized as the gold standard for the breed.Then you might see a jockeying of positionas far as timing,etc. is concerned.YUM!
